A walk on Omey Island during low tide – Google Galway Tides Times for low tide information: Park the car at Claddaghduff and walk across the strand following the large signs embedded in the sand. At Omey Island there is just one paved road and follow this in a clockwise direction until you see the sand dunes and Fahy Lake to your right – continue walking towards the sand dunes.

The scenery here is just stunning as the uninhabited small islands off the Omey Island shoreline all emerge into view. Next up is the “sunken treasure” - the ruin of Teampaill Feichin, the medieval parish church, (illegally) excavated from the sand in 1981. Constructed from rough stone at this present time there is the general concern that it may not stand the test of time much longer. Continue walking in a clockwise direction heading past the cemetery and finally trekking back towards the mainland at Claddaghduff. Trackback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/2184/comment/19830/
